These notes correspond to a set of lectures given at the Univer
sity of Alberta during the spring semester, 1973. The first four
sec tions present a systematic development of a deterministic,
threshold model for the spraad of an infection. Section 5 presents
some compu tational results and attempts to tie the model with
other mathematics. In each of the last three sections a separate,
specialized topic is presented. The author wishes to thank
Professor F. Hoppensteadt for making available preprints of two of
his papers and for reading and comment ing on a preliminary version
of these notes. He also wishes to thank Professor J. Mosevich for
providing the graphs in Section 5. The visit at the University of
Alberta was a very pleasant one and the author wishes to express
his appreciation to Professors S. Ghurye and J. Macki for the
invitation to visit there. Finally, thanks are due to the very
competent secretarial staff at the University of Alberta for typing
the original draft of the lecture notes and to Mrs. Ada Burns of
the University of Iowa for her excellent typescript of the final
version. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. A Simple Epidemic Model with
